I thought it was absurdly good. I haven’t had the opportunity to smile and laugh through a movie like this in ages. Really excellent takes on a bunch of classic DC characters that I’d never expected to see on-screen (Jai Courtney bringing a shitton of personality to Captain Boomerang? Being a shockingly good character…

Evan, I love having you on io9. These comic recaps are amazing.

“It would not even be on the top 10 list of Robin William/Bill Murray movies”

I disagree; Shakespeare wrote for his audience and would have agreed with other writers adapting to a different setting and time. Let’s stop acting like this was some form of sacred scripture, his plays were meant to appeal to the half-drunk rowdies in the pits just as much as the nobles.

All of these are MUCH funnier if you imagine him saying them in the voice of the pool boy from legally blonde. I can’t help but think that he’s next going to accuse the Post writers of wearing last-season Ferragamo shoes...

He doesn’t look quite worn enough, to me. In my head Roland looked just this side of homeless. As awesome as he looks, Idris is just a little too clean.

I’ve got to be honest, I’ve never particularly cared much about the people behind books, music, films, etc. that I enjoy (for instance, I love Perdido Street Station, but only found out very recently that China Mieville was a dude, when I’d previously thought dudette). It’s always been about the work for me.

I hope this means that there is a forum of manbabies and culture warriors angrily eating a hole through their Ayn Rand books.

Damn it, Sir Pterry’s award makes my eyes water. I need to pull out some Granny Weatherwax.

Well, goody for you. You’re a real Spartan.

Thank you! I always thought it was an amazingly fun movie. Even as a 10 year old kid, I could tell Batman Forever was “campy in a good way”, and Batman & Robin was “campy in a this-is-shit-way”.

Like you said, it’s fun. It’s a comic book come to life, it has a cool batmobile, awesome production design, Jim Carrey and…

Honestly, Batman Forever isn’t even that bad. It’s campy and corny as hell, but it’s fun in a ‘66 sort of way. Gotta enjoy Carrey and Jones chewing the scenery and just owning it, and Kilmer is actually a solid Batman, if a weak Bruce Wayne. His other Batman film, however...

This reminds me, in addition to my organic anal beads, it looks like my dildo garden is almost ready for its first harvest of the year! #blessed

Calling it Snctm makes it sound like that lame fucking sex club Tom Cruise donned a mask for in Eyes Wide Shut. I guess I’m old-fashioned because I want my sex theatre to be called RamRod or TightHoles or something. I want vowels and exciting rectal metaphors.

A) You’ve got me wondering what was there before.

I really like this, because I’ve also seen the concept creep going on regarding bullying (no, making fun of a bigot isn’t bullying the bigot), and I also see a lot of power in breaking down when and why internet hate and harassment is distinct from bullying (or ‘cyberbullying’ which is just the same thing but with a…

EVERYONE GO THE FUCK HOME. ALL FUTURE RED CARPETS ARE CANCELLED. THE SUPREME HAS GRACED US WITH PERFECTION.

Nope. I refuse to go back and re-read that. Because “Hook” is wonderful. So there.

WHEW.
